Throwback Thursday: Getting Ready for Christmas

1 December 2016

Happy December! During the run up to Christmas I will be sharing some personal seasonal snaps with you all (thanks to my mum for sending them my way!). Here's one of me with the family before we became a fivesome. This was taken when I was about 5 and my sister was 1 and 1/2. How cute and chubby was she?! And how pretty does my mum look! I can definitely tell it was a weekend/non-work day as my dad was wearing jeans...hahaha.

How are you guys prepared for Christmas?! I actually feel pretty organised this year; I have most of my shopping done, our tree is up (not decorated yet but it's up and we have lights on!) my Christmas grocery shop is ordered...I just need to buy wrapping paper and Jonathan's present. Oh, and actually write some Christmas cards this year! But compared to other years, I'm feeling quite productive!

Did you get a Saccone Joly's advent calendar? We opened the first door this morning and the Elf on the Shelf came to visit our home which has never happened before. Emilia and Eduardo were completely tickled pink to discover that he had hung all of their knickers and underpants on the Christmas tree! I have a feeling we've got a really naughty elf ;)

Hi Anna! The picture is so cute😍 I have decorated my room a little, I have some lights, a few elfs and a diy calendar that I made that contains these date-nut bars instead of chocolate. I will leave some pictures on twitter for you! And thank you so much for repleing to my tweet today💗 It really made my day!! Love you, my queen! Stay amazing!!

I feel so prepared this year as well. All Christmas cards are written (still got a couple weeks before I have to send them, yeah!) and most presents are bought or at least I know what I want to get for everyone :)Now I can't wait for the calm time to begin and to enjoy every moment with my dearest people :>Happy December!Carina

So cute Anna. I can't wait to hear all the stories about what the elf gets up to in your house. My little cousins absolutely adore it. In terms of organisation, I feel pretty organised too....more so than last year anyway. Looking forward to seeing all of your videos and watching Emilia and Eduardo get so excited.

Hi I love watching your you tube channels. I have 2 daughters and my youngest daughter and I sit and watch together. We have had a tough year but the one things that cheers us up is watching you and your lovely family. I wish you love and happiness and can't wait til the arrival of your new baby girl.

I can't wait to see Emilia and Eduardo's reactions to the elf on the shelf! I'm so excited for Christmas - who doesn't love the holiday season? All I have to do is push through finals...ugh. Pray for me, haha! Love you Anna! Sending love from America! :) <3

Hi Anna, what a beautiful picture, I can't believe how much of a tiny Anna Eduardo is now. He is our absolute double. On a personal note I just wanted to say I'm a big sacconejoly fan (probably hear that alot), I stumbled across the vlog's about 4 years ago. Being as we are the same age and my husband is Jonathan's age I felt kind of drawn to the vlog's. You are an incredible wife mother and daughter and I aspire to be held to that standard. My husband and I don't have kids yet but live vicariously through you and your family. It's a ten minute pick me up that I love. Excited to be on this journey through life. Love & light to you and your family.Jane Shorey

I'm 30 years old, married to Jonathan and mummy to five year old Emilia, four year old Eduardo, one year old Alessia and expecting a baby boy in August 2018! We also have six Maltese dogs and our house is basically a zoo.

I used to love fashion & makeup a lot (I still do even if I'm normally covered in snot or milk stains) I've always loved food and I never skip dessert!
